Fresh on the net: PURE Performance

PURE Performance is online - Athletics centre with a fresh web presence

After weeks of intensive planning, design and realisation, I am delighted to present the new PURE Performance website. It is now online and clearly shows what the athletics centre is all about: professionalism, dynamism and clear structures.

Sporty, clear design: The design of the website reflects the dynamism and performance orientation of the athletics centre. With clear lines, sporty aesthetics and a greatly reduced colour palette, the values and energy of PURE Performance are visually conveyed.

Optimised user guidance: A key objective was to provide visitors with quick and intuitive access to the most important content and offers. The structure of the website clearly guides visitors through the various training areas such as speedcourt, running training, strength training and mental coaching, supported by a user-friendly interface.

Mobile performance: Optimisation for mobile devices was particularly important. As athletes and sports enthusiasts are often on the move, the website adapts flexibly to all screen sizes and offers fast loading times and easy navigation even when on the move.

Integration of booking functions: Another important focus was the integration of a seamless connection to the Eversports booking platform, so that appointments and training programmes can be conveniently managed and booked online.

I wish the PURE Performance team every success and look forward to you taking a look at the new website.

Have fun exploring!

Fresh on the net: Job vacancies in the Peterhoff Group

2025-04-02T10:47:02+02:0002 April 2025|

New job platform for Peterhoff: modern, clear and user-friendly

A new page for the Peterhoff Group's job vacancies is online - and I was allowed to take over the technical realisation. The aim was to create a modern and well-structured platform on which all vacancies could be presented in a centralised, clear and attractive way.

The website was realised with WordPress, the powerful MyListing theme and the Elementor Pro page builder. The combination of these tools enables a flexible design and user-friendly handling - both for applicants and for maintaining the data in the backend.

vh-crossmedia | Volker Heupel | References Webdesign

A particular focus was placed on the clear presentation of the individual job offers and the ability to filter them specifically, for example by location and area of activity. This allows interested parties to find suitable jobs quickly and easily - whether as a cleaner, property manager or in administration.

I am delighted to have realised this project together with the Peterhoff team and wish the new platform many suitable applicants!

Fresh on the net: Municipality of Aremberg

2025-02-18T14:12:48+01:0018 February 2025|

The local community of Aremberg has a new digital home - a modern website that invites you to discover it.

The new website combines tradition and future: it not only provides interesting facts about village life, but also gives a comprehensive overview of important contact points, events and current developments. The focus was on clarity and a clear structure in order to provide all users with quick access to relevant information.

vh-crossmedia | Volker Heupel | References Webdesign

For this website, it was particularly important to me to create a design that reflects Aremberg's identity and at the same time offers clear, intuitive navigation. In addition to a uniform, appealing appearance, I developed a colour concept that supports user guidance on the subpages: Each section picks up its own colour combination so that visitors know where they are at all times.

But not only the design, but also the technical realisation posed special challenges. Extensive, customised programming was required in order to optimally implement the municipality's individual wishes. From specific functions for displaying important content to customised adjustments to the layout - the website was tailored to the municipality's needs down to the last detail.

The collaboration with the municipality of Aremberg was characterised by clear ideas and a productive exchange. I am delighted that I was able to create a platform with this website that not only provides information, but also conveys the special atmosphere of the place.

Fresh on the net: Vera Unland

2024-12-02T14:11:42+01:0002 December 2024|

It is with great pleasure that I present the new homepage of the artist Vera Unland. Thanks to an uncomplicated and fast realisation, a site has been created that puts Mrs Unland's works of art in the limelight in a special way and at the same time bears her personal signature.

The new website offers a comprehensive insight into Mrs Unland's artistic work. Visitors can explore an impressive Gallery The visitors can admire their works, supplemented by detailed information on the title, technique and dimensions. The home page invites visitors with an appealing slider, while the News" page space for news such as vernissages and new works. We also have our own "Sale" page enables interested parties to contact Mrs Unland directly to purchase works of art.

vh-crossmedia | Volker Heupel | References Webdesign

The focus of this project was to present Mrs Unland's work in an intuitive and aesthetically pleasing way. After an initial look at her impressive pictures, I developed a finished layout that Mrs Unland loved straight away. It was fascinating how much she trusted me with the design and how uncomplicated the whole process was.

Technically, the focus was on a responsive design so that the website could be displayed on Smartphones, tablets and desktops works equally well. I paid attention to intuitive navigation and gave Mrs Unland the opportunity to add content such as gallery images or the latest news herself.

The collaboration with Mrs Unland was characterised by mutual trust and a clear objective: to create a website that presents her works in the best possible way - and I think we succeeded.

Why WordPress? The best choice for your new website

2024-11-29T14:35:39+01:0029 November 2024|

When it comes to creating modern, powerful and future-proof websites, there is a clear answer: WordPress. In this blog article, I would like to explain why I have decided to work exclusively with this content management system (CMS) and what advantages this has for you as my customer.

WordPress dominates the CMS market worldwide

A look at the latest figures makes it clear why WordPress is the number one choice. According to a recent study by Statista, in November 2024 WordPress will be used by 43.6 % of all websites analysed used worldwide. This leaves competitors such as Shopify (4.6 %) and Wix (approx. 3 %) far behind.

WordPress dominates the CMS market worldwide

This huge market share not only shows how popular WordPress is, but also that it is a proven solution that is used by millions of people and companies worldwide - from small blogs to large international brands.

A success that continues to grow

The long-term development of market shares also speaks for itself. WordPress has grown continuously since 2010, while other CMSs such as Joomla and Drupal have lost market share. This development shows that WordPress is not just a trend, but has established itself as a standard.

For you, this means that when you choose WordPress, you are opting for a system that will remain relevant in the future. Your website remains flexible, expandable and technically up to date.

The advantages of WordPress for your website

Why is WordPress so successful? And what does it mean for your website? Here are some of the biggest advantages that WordPress offers:

1. flexibility and adaptability

Whether you need a small website for your local company, an extensive online shop or a modern blog - WordPress can be customised to your individual needs. With thousands of themes and plugins, we can tailor functions and designs precisely to your requirements.

2. user-friendliness for you

WordPress is not only easy to use for developers, but also for you. As soon as your website is ready, you can manage content such as text, images or blog articles yourself - without any prior technical knowledge. This saves you time and money.

3. future security

Thanks to its large market share and continuous development, WordPress is future-proof. There are regular updates that add new functions and close security gaps. We can also add new features at any time to help your website grow with your business.

4. SEO optimisation

A website is only successful if it can be found. WordPress offers many tools out of the box to optimise your website for search engines - from clean code to plugins such as Yoast SEO, which help you to achieve better rankings on Google.

5. community and support

With a huge global community, there is always support: countless tutorials, forums and experts ensure that WordPress solutions can be developed and improved quickly and reliably.

WordPress for your website

Why I only work with WordPress

My decision to work exclusively with WordPress is based on many years of experience and the conviction that I can provide you with the best results. Instead of spreading my expertise across many different CMSs, I concentrate on the system that offers the ideal conditions for most projects.

For you this means

  • Efficient project realisation: Thanks to my specialisation, I can create your website faster and more cost-effectively.
  • Long-term support: With my expertise in WordPress, I can also support you after the launch of your website with customisations, extensions or technical updates.
  • Future-proof decisions: You benefit from a system that is a world leader and will continue to be relevant for many years to come.

WordPress is the right choice

WordPress has established itself as the most successful CMS in the world - and for good reason. With its flexibility, user-friendliness and future-proof structure, it offers the ideal basis for both small companies and large organisations.

If you are thinking about creating a new website or relaunching an existing one, then I am the right contact for you. Together we will realise your ideas - with a system that will support you in the long term.

Do you have any questions? Feel free to write to me or arrange a free consultation directly. I look forward to realising your project with WordPress!

Fresh on the net: Wildlife Aid North Eifel

2024-12-22T08:13:42+01:0022 October 2024|

I am very pleased to announce the successful completion of the website for the Wildlife Aid North Eifel to be able to announce the new platform. This new platform serves an important purpose: the rescue of injured or orphaned wild animals in the Eifel region. With clearly structured information, an easily accessible guide and quick contact options, the site offers everything needed to act correctly in emergency situations.

vh-crossmedia | Volker Heupel | References Webdesign

As web designers, we worked with my client to create a modern, streamlined and fast website that would optimally support the intended purpose. Optimisation for the mobile view was particularly important, as most people report injured animals while they are out and about and have their smartphone to hand. This allows them to access the information quickly and easily and get in touch with the right contact person.

In addition to the technical implementation, I was also able to design the logo and a small style guide that perfectly emphasises the philosophy of Wildtierhilfe: uncomplicated, trustworthy and targeted.

Working with Wildtierhilfe Nordeifel was a particular pleasure for me, as the topic of nature conservation is close to my heart. I am grateful that I was able to contribute my expertise to this important project and am delighted to be part of this valuable commitment.

Fresh on the net: Zehntscheune / North Gate Kronenburg

2024-09-06T15:41:06+02:0006 September 2024|

Experience the perfect combination of history and enjoyment in the Tithe barn and the North gate KronenburgNestled in the picturesque setting of the historic Kronenburg, these unique locations offer modern cuisine, regional Eifel specialities, fine distillates from the hotel's own distillery and a varied event programme. Whether culinary delights, cultural events or relaxed tours through the Eifel - there's something for everyone here.

When designing the website for the Zehntscheune and Nordtor Kronenburg, it was important to me as a web designer to skilfully unite the two unique worlds of experience while at the same time emphasising their individual characters. The efficient and focussed collaboration with the client enabled me to create a harmonious digital presence that perfectly reflects the historical atmosphere and culinary diversity of both locations. With a clear structure, striking design and user-friendly navigation, it was possible to bring the traditional hospitality of the Zehntscheune and the modern elegance of the Nordtor to life on a shared platform. The result is a website that takes visitors on a journey of discovery through the culinary worlds and cultural highlights of Kronenburg and unites and emphasises the special identity of both branches.
